Simple, easy going atmosphere. Service was okay. Food was fine. Don’t order a steak. Otherwise; No complaints:)

Went for a late breakfast on a Friday there was no one dining at the time. We were seated quickly. Server seemed annoyed we were there no smile or warm welcome. We mentioned one of us was vegetarian and asked for some options & asked some questions about if they could accommodate, she pretty much said what we have is on the menu & said she'd be back when we were ready. Food was delicious! Perfectly prepared tasted just as good as it looked and was piping hot! Will definitely return!

Came here for brunch with my family and it’s not bad if you want some all day breakfast food. I also like that there is 55 and over menu for the seniors and of course a kid menu. They also have specials during the week so check it out. Our waitress was very nice as well!

soooooo yummy and the server was so kind to us. get the home fries. my only complaint is that they had no greek omelette :( update: we came back but this time they had fall options. I got the same thing, an omelette and home fries, and it was delicious just like last time. I also got the pumpkin pancakes and they were wonderful. thank you to whoever is in the back cooking up these masterpieces.

We always have a good time at Perkins; great fresh food and good service always. Trish was our host today, she was very pleasant and made our brunch enjoyable! The dessert was fantastic!

June 26, 2024

Just ordered for the first and last time. I hate damaging someone’s business and livelihood but I spoke to the manager who was less than sympathetic and advised because we ordered through Uber there’s nothing he could do. One of the meals came with a total of 3 spears of asparagus as one of the sides to salmon. We ordered the peanut butter pie which looked like someone had taken a considerable bite out of. Quality of everything else was subpar at best. Tomato soup tasted like watered down ketchup. Definitely a hard pass for $25+ entrees and $8 desserts. We’ll stick to our known favourites going forward. I'm always amenable when food is hit and miss but to not take accountability and pass the buck is a shame. There are much tastier and value-driven options that actually care about customer service.

Got the steak and eggs. Which was good. All cooked well. Also ordered a mimosa which was purely orange juice and was warm. Wouldn’t recommend the mimosa. But the breakfast was good.

September 29, 2023 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ We decided to have breakfast at Perkins, where we received a warm welcome and were promptly seated in a booth. The staff was friendly. For my meal, I ventured out of my usual choices and ordered the Pot Roast Melt. It's not typically something I would go for, but I wanted to try something different. Unfortunately, it didn't quite meet my expectations as I found the meat to be a bit dry and lacking in flavor. However, I did find the onion rings quite enjoyable. One constructive suggestion I have is that when suggesting dishes, it would be appreciated if the additional charges were mentioned upfront rather than being explained after the bill is presented. Some people may not appreciate that surprise at the end. Overall, it was an okay dining experience, not the best nor the worst. I would consider visiting Perkins again in the future, but I'll likely stick to my usual choices of pancakes and French toast.

Always great service, a varied menu & consistently good food.

November 22, 2024

Literally, the worst restaurant I have ever been in. There was nothing good about this place. The food was awful, dry and disgusting. The portions were so small that the plate was 3/4 empty. The service was unbelievably slow and the server was unbelievably rude. Expensive is not a word I can use for this place. It would be cheaper to eat at The Keg than it would to have two eggs and two sausages at Perkins. Asking for the manager does not help, because the manager is never in the restaurant. I asked to speak to the manager and was told he was not there at 4:00 p.m. I called three different times, on three different days, during three different meal periods and each time I asked for the manager and was told he was not there. Complaining to Head Office is not possible. If you try and send an online complaint, the system does not allow you to do that, because you need to enter five digit ZIP code and in Canada we only have six digit postal codes. If you try and call Perkins to make a complaint, they dont have a toll free number, only a local U.S. number, that is only accessible from Canada if you are willing to pay long distance charges. The service was so bad that I went and bought a calling card to be able to call the United States. I finally was able to get a hold of someone at Perkins and they took my complaint and promised that someone would call me back within 48 hours. Guess what? Its been 7 days and nobodys called. I guess they take customer service very seriously at Perkins. I guarantee, that if someone made a complaint of this magnitude, about Perkins, in the United States, the manager of that restaurant would have been fired, but here Canadians are taken for granted and we are treated like garbage by these American corporations.

My family has enjoyed visiting Perkins since our kids were little. Tonight my husband and I went for dinner, and the food was tasty as usual. Im fond of coconut cream pie, but recently discovered their peanut butter pie which is delicious. Sadly I had to remove the onions from my sandwich, I love them, but just cant handle them lately. We usually have good service when we eat here, but what made this meal extra enjoyable tonight wasnt the pie, or the delicous pot roast sandwich. It was the service - Kayla was first class - she was attentive, helpful and genuinely friendly. She didnt pressure us and was very patient as we got familiar with the new menu items. She made sure the coffee pot was always topped up too. My husband and I are fairly quiet in public- we dont usually chat people up, and prefer to just keep to ourselves. Well that didnt happen, Kayla removed all our defenses and had us joking with her by the end of our meal. Kayla seems to have a very good rapport with all of the customers, and I can see why, she really has a talent for dealing with people and putting them at ease - that is something you dont see very often, and in the last 20 years of eating in the GTA, I can only remember one other server who had this remarkable skill. Now I just need to get my hands on her schedule so we can be sure to return when shes on shift. Thank you Kayla for putting a smile on our faces, you even melted our keep ourselves to ourselves attitude so much that we goofed around with the little boy in the booth next to us - thats a first! Note - the restaurant feedback on this post is regarding a previous post re: a delivery order from a couple of years ago where they had forgotten to include part of the order. It was resolved satisfactorily and we still visit the restaurant when were in the area. Parking: Always lots of parking on the lot immediatly outside of the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: This location is accessible for mobility impaired and wheelchair access. There are automatic door openers and level access from the parking lot to the entrance. There are moveable tables/chairs where wheelchairs can be accommodated as well as booth seating, and there is wheelchair accessible washrooms. The parking lot has disability parking spaced close to the entrance of the restaurant.

While this place was nice, the food was enjoyable, and my server was kind, I had a bit of an issue with the managers. I asked a hostess one day for my bill as I was dining with others and didnt want them paying first. She asked my table number and right as she was about to say shell grab my server one of the managers butted in and said your server will be with you in a moment. He was not originally apart of the conversation so I asked him why hes intervening. He then just repeated that he was letting me know my server would be with me it almost sounded like he didnt know what we were actually discussing so I said im sorry do you know what we are discussing? The manager hesitated and tried coming up with an answer but I just later stated the hostess managed the situation shes capable of answering a customer perfectly fine you didnt need to come in. I do fear I may have been too harsh and made the host uncomfortable which wasnt my goal, but it felt like the manager was disrespecting their staff even though they were doing their job well. Besides this my server was great, and the food tasted good. However, management does need to make an improvement.

Weve been to Perkins many times. The food is great if youre looking for safe, tasty, and traditional English style food. The service is excellent and every server weve met had been cheerful, helpful, and fast. Only thing I would say that made my last visit a bit less enjoyable was the couple who sat in front of our booth, the woman was so loud when she spoke it was incredibly annoying. Thankfully they left half way through our meal! Kid-friendliness: They are kid friendly and treat children with respect and kindness.

I was so disappointed in the Niagara Falls location with their over inflated prices , I stayed away from Perkins for years . The breakfast I had here was very good. Great safety protocols . They have a large patio for extra seating, This restaurant may have brought me back to Perkins.

Nice place with decent size servings and decent prices. They try replicate home made dishes with probably prepared food. Popular with older couples.

A lot of variety with their menu. It took awhile for our food to come. Everything was delicious. My scrambled eggs were a little undercooked. I think because it was a weekend their service was a little slow so it took awhile to get refills on our waters. All that being said, I definitely plan to go back. Their blueberry muffin was lovely!

Very disappointed to be honest! Order off DoorDash over $50 for 2 meals and the food was not good. Eggs Benny should be poached eggs as it also says in the description, yet they were not poached and over cooked. 2 small strips of bacon only for $20 eggs Benny smh Wont be back!!

Honestly I love breakfast joints. When i saw the pies & the potato hash I had to give em a try. However I wasn t very happy with the portion of my meal & the temperature as well. My food was barely warm which through me off. However I did like how they give you a jug of coffee for the table. If my food temperature was better easily a 4 star experience. Will try the pie next time.

The food is decent, its always busy. The interior requires some work. The seating is joined together with a separation wall. Every booth shook with the diners enter and exiting the booth, which is very disruptive and of no fault of the other patron(s). I wish I had taken a picture.

Food was decent enough. There was a sign outside that you could get a $8.95 breakfast from 8am-10am. (Didnt see it when we came in.) We were there at 9:30am. Waitress didn t mention the special when we seated. Seen it when we left. Disappointed. Spent $32 when we could have gotten 2 - $8.95 breakfast (under $20). I bought potato pancakes w/bacon and applesauce and hubby bought 2 eggs and sausage w/toast, a coffee and tea each. We had a 20% coupon and our final bill was $32. Would have been like $40 for breakfast w/out coupon!! Holy. Atmosphere is comfortable. Like the booths. Washrooms were clean. Dietary restrictions: Did not have gluten free bread or alternative milk options. Had sourdough bread, as per waitress, didn t see it on the menu though, unless I overlooked it. As people are more health conscious, I do believe they should offer gluten free bread and alternative milk options. Tim Hortons has oat milk for goodness sake. Anyways, I brought some oat milk from home so I could enjoy a tea.

Family restaurant with welcoming environment. Ordered steak & eggs. Steak was cooked well, but very under seasoned. Decent portion sizes for the price. Coffee was served but we had to ask for sugar, when the sugar was served it made a mess all over the table when we grabbed the packets. Sat in a booth, but every movement from the person(s) sitting behind me was felt on my side, very annoying. Wheelchair accessibility: Bathroom and main entrance is

It was a nice walk in restaurant. Staff were friendly. Id like to say the furniture is a little dated and the booths are a little tight. The menu options are good. Lots of variety. I got a soup and sandwhich for $10. I think i picked too many carbs but the food was great! I woud go again and i would hope that in the future they would add a bit more veg options but i didnt mind what was offered! Vegetarian options: There didnt seem to be too many options other than like a garden salad or tomato bisque. Id love if they had an ALT (avocado lettuce and tomato) or the beyond burger. Parking: Loved the parking Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible. No need to worry about getting in and out of the building
